Extendicare Health Service

Extendicare Health Service runs senior care communities with about 15,000 beds and has operated 156 facilities in the United States, and it's based in Markham, Ontario, Canada, though the headquarters has moved from Toronto to Milwaukee, and you can find one of its locations at 111 W Michigan St in Milwaukee, WI 53203. Over the years, Extendicare has provided different types of care, like assisted living, independent living, memory care for Alzheimer's and other types of dementia, nursing homes, long-term care, home care, sub-acute care, pediatric services, cancer treatment, and rehabilitative therapy for both inpatients and outpatients, and they have also worked with hospitals, clinics, physicians, and offered services like group purchasing and management. Meals here get planned by chefs and nutritionists, and there's a focus on nutrition, taste, good ingredients, and balanced diets. Home care services rely on trained aides to help with companionship and non-medical tasks, while independent living provides an easy lifestyle for active seniors, and assisted living gives help with things like bathing or medication. Extendicare has settled a $10 million lawsuit over allegations of giving unnecessary services to increase Medicare billings. They're recognized with awards like Best of Senior Living All Star and have community programs for health and wellness. The staff works with families and residents to create personalized care solutions. Extendicare has also been through major business changes, such as selling much of its U.S. business, acquiring Revera Home Health to expand in Canada, and being connected with Zilber Ltd. when Zilber sold its nursing division to Extendicare Inc. The company works at improving the quality of life for residents through care, community involvement, and health initiatives, and they offer advice and guidance through senior living advisors.
